Next step, sectioning the hood. I started by cutting one of the side supports that goes across from one side to the other of the hood where the hinges bolt. Simply raising the lower section up the 2.5 inches I sectioned the cowl. I sectioned the cowl under those hinges so this made sense to me. I did this a while ago but got back into it last night now that the fenders are on. It's looking good so far.

Spent most the time out there making bushings for the hinge bolts so I could DO SOMETHING while the bolts I ordered come.
